Historically that was the only way of preventing the .modinfo sectionfrom being included in modules when they were loaded into the kernel.An alternative is to allow .modinfo to be allocated and have modutilstreat it as non-allocated. This feature was added to modutils 2.3.19on October 22 (bleeding edge toolchains for IA64 are "fun") so anybodywho is annoyed by the warning messages can apply this patch.

-/* The attributes of a section are set the first time the section is- seen; we want .modinfo to not be allocated. */--__asm__(".section .modinfo\n\t.previous");- /* Define the module variable, and usage macros. */ extern struct module __this_module;
